@robz no just a number. then the database that I look after as my voluntary position matches a name to that number and to a microchip. the tag is great as you can identify by sight, but if they lose the tag the microchip gives us a pretty reliable backup
Chomp, chomp, chomp! This is a new resident to me. Was he one of the new ones that just showed up, oh, wait, I just checked the tag- so he's in the kindy. Well, you couldn't be in a better place little Hobi!
